Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinion are completely my own.

I love Logic puzzles books and this one was really fun. I enjoy the levels of difficulty and different themes. I would absolutely buy more books in this series.

This works in theory but not in practise. I love the idea of having a book of puzzles that are training your brain, start off easy and get increasingly harder. I like the variety of puzzles and the explanation of why theu were included.
However, the format didn't work for an arc. I tried to complete the puzzle but without the board for you to check off it was almost impossible. I could not complete the soduku because it was just showing as a row of numbers and even the puzzles I could try to do, the answers at the back were not clear.
I love the idea of this book and would pick it up if I saw it in stores but I am slightly disappointed I was not able to try a few of them from this copy

I love doing puzzles and really enjoyed this book. This book has Logic Grid Puzzles, Sudoku, Calcudoku, Battleship, Kakuro, and Masyu and as you go along, the difficulty increases. Many of these puzzle types were new to me and there was a good set of instructions to allow me to enjoy them.

Thank you to the author, Zeitgeist, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This logic puzzles are a fun way of training your brain. The instructions are easy to understand. There is a variety of puzzles for easy to hard.

I thought this was a fun book, especially for seniors to keep our minds active. I'd buy this for myself and my 90-year-old mother! I'm not a big fan of the number puzzles, but I do like the word puzzles and was glad to see that they had lots of variety in the stories. They also were culturally diverse, not just people named John and Mary or foods like hamburger and popcorn. The print is large, to accommodate those with less than perfect vision. I also appreciated the short tutorials that accompanied each type of puzzle. I'm not sure about the relevance of the "bonus" section--why not just provide another month of puzzles instead. I'm assuming this will be done in a printed book format. I'd suggest using spiral binding as it is easier to work on than regular binding.
Thank you to Net Galley and Zeitgeist Publishing for providing an advance review copy. All opinions are my own.

I am a sucker for word puzzles and logic puzzles. I enjoy spending hours on these types of puzzles. Logic Puzzles for Brain Fitness meets my needs, completely. Easy to read and understand instructions, space for taking notes when you are working out the puzzles, and a nice, crisp look to the pages.

Thank you #NetGalley and Lana Barnes for #LogicPuzzlesforBrainFitness

I absolutely LOVE this puzzle book! It was challenging, but not so much so that I got frustrated with it, I loved that it has a puzzle (or two) a day! The only problem with that is I cannot just do the one days worth! Before I know it, I have done several days worth of puzzles! I plan own purchasing this in hard copy! I cannot wait!

A reasonable spread of puzzles with a logical basis, branded as part of a brain-training 90 day exercise routine. We start with four days where all we do is one of those ancient (seriously, they were around in the 1980s, at least) logic problems, where you get a list of positive or negative facts, and there's typically a mesh of 5x5 grids for you to tick or dismiss all the possibilities to get the right details. Days 5 and 6 are two sudoku each (and yes, this is so gentle we're still getting the instructions for the cursed things), and we follow that pattern for the first month.

Month two offers what they clumsily call "calcudoku" – the smaller grid of numbers, with the usual rules about repeating across lines and rows, where the smaller regions within contain sums, and we're placing the digits of the answer. The logic problems are a touch more substantial, in that there is more for us to discern, and the pattern is again four days of one of those daily, two days with two "calcudoku" and two days with a pair of Battleships grids to solve – at least until the designers realise 30 is not divisible by eight. The final thirty-day stretch adds on kakuro, and masyu, a relatively new style of puzzle where white and black blobs tell you how a looped line should be fashioned around the grid. I've never done one of those, and even the UK's larger daily newspaper puzzle sections don't bother with them. From here on in its again four once-a-day logic puzzles, two days with a brace of kakuro and the same regarding masyu. We then get a bonus week or so of a mixed bag, and the answers.

All told it's not too bad a selection, but if you take against one or two puzzle types here you certainly won't thank it for persisting with them. I think the amount of logic problems really unfashionably high, considering all the many Japanese types on the scene since the former's heyday, meaning this could so easily have had more varied contents, on a par with a full daily paper's spread. Yes this offers the helpful introduction and guidance, and is definitely much less cramped than a paper, but it can't be ignored that this is really not the cheapest way to buy this kind of material. It's fine enough, but should seldom be anyone's first choice.

Logic Puzzles for Brain Fitness is a well rounded assortment of 108 logic puzzles, sudoku, number sudoku, battleship, and others collected and curated by Lana Barnes. Released 19th Sept. 2023 by Penguin Random House on their Zeitgeist imprint, it's 240 pages and is available in paperback format.

This is set up as daily exercises, one per day for 90 days, along with a chapter of bonus puzzles to round out the numbers to 108. The puzzles are varied and most are easy to moderate difficulty. The author/publisher have included a complete answer key in the back of the book.

The puzzles are set up with the puzzle info on one page and a solving grid on the opposite page (for the logic puzzles). The typeset is easy to read, large print, and high contrast.

Five stars. Does precisely what it claims. Readers know what to expect and this is precisely that. This would make a good selection for travel reading, vacation, and gift giving.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I LOVED doing these as a 10th grader, so I was super excited to try them out again. However, I couldn't get beyond puzzle #1. IDK if I've gotten dumber in the past 20 years or so or if it doesn't have a solve-able solution. And I tried multiple times weeks apart. I'm putting myself out of my misery and DNF'ing it.

It's a solid puzzle book - there is not much to say beyond that. So I will recommend to those who are looking for such.

I received this from net galley in exchange for an honest review. I adore the challenge of logic puzzles and this book has a nice variety of them at different levels. I didn't care for having to draw out the grids and most logic puzzle books do include them. Perhaps it was because I got this digitally? I don't know. A great collection in any case.

There were some easy and some medium puzzles. I'm picky about my puzzles, so I wasn't always a fan of the way all of the clues were worded. I enjoyed the other problems in the book. Doing these on the tablet can be a bit of the pain, but a physical book should be fine.

This is a nice mix of puzzle types and I like that it gets increasingly more difficult as you go along. I love having puzzle books in my room to be used as brain breaks and for early finishers of assignments. This books doesn't offer a whole lot of new things, but will be a nice addition to my current bookshelf.

An excellent mix of logic puzzles that keep me entertained. There were a good mix of medium and hard puzzles.

I love logic puzzles and these were greatly! challenging enough and kept me entertained for quite a while!

Fun book! I like to keep puzzles on my desk to do on break to clear my mind. Logic puzzles are fun.Good for all ages.

I like everything about these puzzles except reviewing it on my tablet was too difficult to attempt. I would gladly purchase a printed copy for my own enjoyment. It would make a great stocking stuufer for Christmas.

An excellent assortment of puzzles designed to keep your brain working. Average difficulty so solvable by most of us. It's almost as if Ms Barnes designed the assortment just for me!!! Perfect for those times that you are stuck in the waiting room anywhere.

Here is another in a series of puzzle books for “brain training.” These puzzles may in fact be good for you but I mostly do them because I think that they offer a fun challenge.

There are six different types of puzzles included in this title. They are logic grids puzzles, sudoku, calcudoku, battleship, kakuro, and Masyu (a puzzle with which I was unfamiliar). There are three sections, each of which includes some of the puzzle types, with harder puzzles being added as one goes along. Puzzlers can choose to go in order, or if they feel more skilled, they can advance to a harder section. Try puzzles that you already know that you like or learn something new. There are full directions for each type. However, the puzzles are approached, have fun!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for this title. I plan to get the hard copy of this title so that I can do all of the puzzles. All opinions are my own
